After the game, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley defended Hurts despite his teammate's disastrous showing.

“I don’t really know what the numbers were, but in my opinion, when we got the ball back in overtime, and I got Jalen Hurts as my quarterback, I got all the confidence that we’re gonna win that football game,” Barkley said on Monday. “Sometimes it just doesn’t work.”

Barkley also said that the challenging run for Philly will only make the team stronger.

Although Hurts struggled against the Chargers, Barkley was one of the best offensive players for the Eagles. The RB recorded 122 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Barkley and Hurts played critical roles in helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl last season. After a strong start this season, Philly's offense has been called out for its inconsistencies in recent weeks.
